Thanks Bob, Can't recall if I replied to this but have one other question. >What's usrm::manager? I can't seem to find anything on the redhat site and >online searches lead to endless 'stuff'. I'm guessing what ever this is, >it's the problem? > That's for rgmanager I think. Perhaps your script should also do: > service rgmanager stop That was indeed what it was. Here is my final shutdown script; service httpd stop umount /var/www vgchange -aln service clvmd stop fence_tool leave service fenced stop service rgmanager stop cman_tool leave killall ccsd Two questions; 1: I probably don't need the last line in there correct? 2: Can I create a new service so that I can run this script to shut things down cleanly when I want to reboot the node? If so, what is the process? Mike -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
